It’s hard to say which anticipation fires up Devan Tracy the most: a cross-country biking adventure or putting people into affordable homes.

Good thing she won’t have to choose, because the Binghamton University senior will be doing both at once. Shortly after she graduates in May with her engineering degree, she plans to hop on her Giant Avail 2 bicycle and “go for a little spin” — of 70 or 80 miles a day, from Portsmouth, N.H., to Vancouver, B.C. — before she enters the working world.

Devan, 21, will be raising money as part of Bike and Build, a charitable group that has given more than

$4 million to promote affordable housing across North America. Last summer alone, it raised more than $600,000 through the efforts of bicyclists.

“Devan, in riding across the USA, is doing something I would love to have done but can no longer do,” said retired BU professor and avid bicyclist Augie Mueller.

Participating riders’ efforts are twofold: raising $4,500 each by soliciting sponsors, and volunteering time during the 70 to 75 days of their trip. They’ll be working with Habitat for Humanity and other such organizations in a dozen or so communities along their routes. As the group’s website, bikeandbuild
